New project just dropped! #microscopy #fixit #citizenscience #Diy

And the final product! Needs more sanding, but still pleased with the outcome.

Alas, poor Yorick! 2nd section of 3d printed anatomical model. At the fine setting the layer lines are almost undetectable. Really pleased with this new printer! #3dprint #models #citizenscience #bambulabs

After months of frustrating hardware and software breakdowns, I finally bought a new 3d printer. Bambu Labs A1 Mini with AMS filament changer for four color printing. This is the first print-a model of a tardigrade for an upcoming project. Rock solid, fast printing. Very happy! #3dprinting #science

You are correct. Its a prop tv. There are no brand marks on the cabinet. I watched a few clips of the TV on Youtube at full screen, and its pretty clear there is a CRT inset in the cabinet.

This set?

First tungsten wire microprobe. 2M KOH and 3 volts. Not as sharp as I would like, but a decent first try. 400x #microscopy #bryophytes #mosses #citizen_science #microscope

After many failed attempts and many steps (including learning to pull micropipettes over a propane torch), I can now manipulate individual moss spores! You can see the tip of my probe touching the spore wall in this image. 400X magnification. #microscopy #bryophytes #moss #citizenscience

Caught my 1st tardigrade today. Baerman funnel ftw. Terrible picture but you can just make out its little claws.

Current reading. Quite well written and very neophyte-friendly in terms of terminology and exposition. #plant_science #biology

Light weekend reading. Actually quite informative on bryophytes from evolutionary and phylogenetic perspectives. #bryophytes #moss #plantscience #citizenscience #biology

Phyllis (leaf) cells of a bryophytes (moss) I collected from my yard today. ~640x. I think there are 2 types of cells in this image? #bryophytes #microscopy #citizen_science #plant_science

Another little project between assignments today. Laser cut and painted. About 4 in high. Cutting was about 6 min, design from a traced profile was about 15 min, 5 min paint and assembly.

Too many Amazon boxes (I know, not great, but I'm rural) coming in. Had to do something with the cardboard.

Flatpack bird. Designed to fit into a standard 1st class enevelope. Not a new idea but a fun project to design between work assignments today.

Wip. Laser is tuned in nicely.

Quick thing I did today. My screen printing skills need some work.

Bullrush loafers. New craft interest developing...
